A few more hours of being 33

Ok, well in a few hours I will be turning 34...even though my wonderful husband keeps reminding me that age is just a number this week I really felt all of my 33 years. My dad was taken to hospital with a suspected heart attack and my little girl has been ill. Apart from a wonderful weekend it ended up being filled with constant checking of my phone. A little one coughing all through the night and lack of sleep all round. I did end up having fun with my awesome friend Rachel (wonderful designer of the Knitaboo logo and godmother to my daughter). She came over on Friday afternoon and we played around with the sewing machine and for once my little one played along and fell asleep on the couch. Seeing my friend getting to grips with the sewing machine has made my fingers itch...I think I will definately be expanding my sewing skills in 2012!

Things British

I recently found out about Things British through the wonderful team of Britsh Sellers on Etsy.  The process was easy and the people that own the store was very helpful.  Darrell and his team where patient with all my questions and I know my products are in good hands.

Labels were designed by The Design Boat which has added a new diminution to Knitaboo and how I present my product.  The Avatar that was designed is great and I am hoping to get it printed on material so that I can stitch that on.

Things British is a great concept and I know that it is a company that will go from strength to strength.  I think in the current climate that people with realise that supporting that which is at our door step is the way forward.  Mass produced items do make things cheaper but we need to reduce our consumption of natural resources and reduce our waste.  I know sometimes I am guilty of that too but I as my daughter is growing up there are things that I need for her to learn and understand.
